Section 6: MAINTAINING THE COMPOUND BOW

• NEVER DRY FIRE THE COMPOUND BOW. • DO NOT MODIFY OR ALTER THE COMPOUND BOW. Attempts to modify the compound bow in any way inconsistent with this manual may render the compound bow unsafe to use, cause serious injury or death, and will void your warranty. • If you drop the compound bow, check to see that it works properly before you use it again. Always check your compound bow thoroughly for worn, damaged, loose or missing parts prior to shooting. • Inspect your arrows, field points, or broadheads for wear, damage, or nicks before using. If any wear, damage, or nicks are found, dispose of the arrows properly. 3a Strings and Cables • We recommend the use of a quality string wax to reduce fraying and wear. Apply a light coat of bowstring wax to your strings and cables each time you shoot your bow. • DO NOT apply wax to the area of the string that wraps around the cams. • Inspect the strings and cables regularly and replace them when they become frayed or worn. Replace all cables and strings annually. If you are unfamiliar with replacing cables and strings, contact an established archery shop for assistance.
